- Thousands evacuated, hundreds of homes damaged or destroyed

On September 30, 2025, a deadly typhoon swept through Vietnam and the Philippines, leaving a devastating impact on both countries. Typhoon Bualoi, which made landfall in Vietnam late on Sunday, September 29th, generated winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour, ripping roofs off homes and causing widespread destruction.
In the Philippines, the typhoon battered small islands in the center of the country last week, toppling trees and power pylons, unleashing floods, and forcing 400,000 people to evacuate. The death toll in the Philippines has more than doubled to 27, with most of the victims either drowning or being hit by debris.
In Vietnam, at least 13 people were killed, and a search is ongoing for 20 others who are still missing. More than 44,200 houses were damaged, including those with roofs torn off, mostly in the central Ha Tinh province. At least 800 houses were flooded, and nearly 6,000 hectares of crops were inundated.
